David Harvey disappears from 4FM daytime

Classic Hits 4FM’s daytime talk show The David Harvey Show has been removed from the schedule of the multi-city station.A tweet from the station confirmed the schedule had changed adding an extra hour to the end of Robbie Fogarty’s show and bringing forward the start time of Gareth O’Callaghan’s afternoon show.

I’m pleased that I am not the only one to find it strange that The David Harvey Show suddenly disappeared. I received a bland e-mail from 4FM that only deepened the mystery. Has David Harvey been gagged for being controversial ? I think perhaps yes, if so it is very worrying for Ireland and freedom to express views the government does not like.

I agree with Ray Dixons’ excellent comments. If this is the reason for Davids ‘disappearance’ it just highlights the fear of this deaf, dumb and blind despot government who will not listen, talk about or see the concerns that these austerity measures are having on the good people of this precious country. 4fm are constantly reminding listeners about becoming Irelands fastest growing radio station, well, this is one listener who no longer will be counted as one of the statistics because of the gutless way that David Harvey has been treated….if you read this David, good luck in the future and we hope you find a ‘ballsy’ outlet for your obvious talents. You are solely missed by me and a undoubtedly very wide audience and admirers near and far. Thank you.

I liked the show greatly. It was a fantastic alternative to Joe or Moncrief. Radio stations that play music all day have no future. Pretty soon the typical music radio listener will have music streaming services to suit their preferences. At that point the only radio listeners will be talk show enthusiasts. Wrong decision…
